Curry night - every Wednesday evening in Munich

I second Winegirls suggestion of Sarovar for next week.

@roots
I just walked past that restaurant I was telling you about near Adelbertstrasse and Barerstrasse. It's called India Town. Weird name, but you know we have to try *all* the Indian restaurants in Munich at some point.

IPJ, sounds familiar but I have never been there.

Anyway, most likely I need to go to the US sometime next week. I will be missing the next few CNs.

Roots- you are going to miss my birthday curry???

So where are we going this week then?

Any suggestions...?

Have you guys been to Maharani before? The food is really good...not sure about service with a large group.

Sarovar was already suggested last week. No consensus yet though, but I'd be willing to go give it a try.

I'm in, as long as it's not way outside of town, because I am lazy and hate to ride the S-Bahn and because I won't be able to get out until after 8 so I want to get there before 9!

Sarovar is near theresianstr. on the U2. My vote is for that.

Sarovar sounds good to me!

Counting the 2 votes (Kebab Meister and Crawlie) that have been switched to the archive that makes 5 votes for Sarovar so I'm going to set it on the sign-up sheet.

It's my last curry night till December!

It's my first time - hope the curry is nice

well if it ur last curry then we shouldnt dissappoint u
one more vote for Sarovar!

roots when u coming back?

Aye, let it be the Sarovar! I love that part of town; very pretty!

Let's give Winegirl a good send off and let her know what she'll be missing!

Oh, and the usual stupid question... whose up for early drinks?

arshoo, I will be gone 4-6 weeks. I have quite a few things to take care of. I am gonna miss Munich very much.

roots! Just make sure can come back before I leave for good (not till Sept, though).

Especially the young Girls...eh!?

IPJ, I should be back in July so I am sure we will see eachother before you leave. Otherwise I am coming to California-- you know, that country by the west coast of USA

I don't have time to discuss the where-to-this-time thing this week so I'll just go with the flow. Sounds good enough to me!

@roots: i'm pretty sad that you are leaving before i even know you funny is, i do not know you well but at least you are one of the few TTers i know by name and face...

roots isn't leaving for good, though, afaik
better not be

I'll be at the curry night next week (can't tomorrow cuz t's Duran Duran!!! yay!)

Darn it! I would love to see Duran Duran.

But I don't get curry very often either...

Did anyone reserve yet?

sorry forgot to post it...

TABLE for 20 reserved under the name Toytown, from 7 pm onwards, but u can go sooner also.

have just spoken to the chef and told him we want to cry when we eat and he said he shall make sure there is adequate spice to do that...

hope we have a good one wouldnt want to dissappoint the birthday girl

I'm getting hungry already!

Happy B-day Carm

I will go sooner also.
Time to stop thinking about it and start doing it. If I can find the place I'll be there in an hour or so.

me leaving for there too in about 15 mins be there in an hour or so too

OK, I will be late, save me a seat (I may even call in my order!)

I'm trapped at work - bugger. Don't think I'm going to make it :-(

Sure you can make it - they serve hot food until midnight.

And with one bound, he was free! Woo hoo!

I'm leaving now.

Holy fuck... that was the hottest curry ever! I feel rather uncomfortable at the moment... my mouth was on fire, my stomach still is on fire and my arse is on fire too... not good!!! Eeeep!

Taste 5/10
Heat 100/10

My curry was fairly standard (I hadn't asked for hot) but it was entertaining watching some of the others suffer. Good times.

Pictures to follow (there are now two curry photographers). If you think I took your picture and you don't want it posted online, please let me know.

Wait till tomorrow, the best is yet to come!

That _was_ hot and I only had a medium.

@Winegirl hope your taste buds are not completely shot.

Excellent night.

Darn ! I missed the food and only had a short time with some good company. I did take a flyer though so I can go back (all by myself wahhh). Was good to see all the peeps though - am slowly putting TT handles to faces.

Whoever got the waiter to bring me a birthday dessert, that was so sweet, thanks alot...

My food was good, but man, was Winegirls hot! I tried the sauce, and am still feeling it.

Well, luckily it's not as bad as last night!! Seriously even going for a pee was painful!

It truly beat me last night... but the really painful thing was my stomach. It felt like it had acid in it afterwards/walking home!

Mine was very hot but still tasty. Very enjoyable. The veggie selection was, in its "untreated" state, pretty much inedible. Far too hot to even enjoy. Even after diluting the sauces they were still too hot.

However, the restaurant was very good, the service was excellent and I will definitely be going back there again.

I'd go back to that place - It was fun and I thought the curry was nice. Mine was also quite hot even though it was just meant to be medium. Waiters were friendly as well.

Best bit was watching Joe Hot struggling to eat that bowl of acid he ordered

Mine was way too hot to enjoy. I could tell it had some good flavors underneath but could tell how the food would have rated against my 3 favs (Shiva, Neu Dehli, and Surahi). The place deserves another chance but having the food at a reasonable heat level. Service was good.

My stomach hurt last night even during the night but today I'm fine.

First time I asked for "extra spicy" on a curry night as couple of the previous ones have been a bit mild. A case of "careful what you wish for" as it was much hotter than I really wanted.

Liked the place and would go back again but I will try the standard menu next time.

I think Jeeves has got the right idea of ordering the same "benchmark dish" the first time your in a restaurant, so you know which ones need spicing up and which don't.

holy hell!!!

UNFORTUNATELY i got exaclty what i asked for. wish they hadnt listened to me and winey and MAM when we said we have been to many places and ordered extra hot and have NEVER been satisfied!

GOD! was that hot or what me stomach nearly burnt out! now i know what rockets feel like with their arse on fire

should go there again and THIS time i want it JUST hot!

BUT i did promise u will cry

carm u r welcome

My benchmark dish is always vindaloo!

Sounds like last night's curries marked a few benches allright.

Yeah... scorched benches!

It was actually a bit much. Sever plumbing disstress this morning

KM you sure that wasn't the Chilayan red?

Well my benchmark chicken jalfrezi was damned good (though I'm not sure there was any ginger in it). Good taste, just the right hotness that I could still taste the components (and not taste those that weren't there).
I also deliberately asked for neither medium hot nor extra hot but simply hot, and that worked well too.

So I'd say the restaurant gets high marks for service and quality of food (quantity wasn't bad either!)

Did you lot get any more freebies after the mango schnapps? I mean that was good enough, but since I left early this week I was just wondering...

I've posted some pictures in the gallery. A few of my oh-so-clever captions got cut off, so feel free to insert your own witty remarks.
